After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 443 might be a Mercury retrograde.

After Lu Mingye finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"what do you mean?"

Although the sixth concubine liked to bully others by abusing her power, she wasn't entirely brainless. Her eyes lit up and she immediately said, "You've been attacked? That's perfect, isn't this the police station? Call the police right away!"

"I've been here ever since I got out of the car. There's no way I would attack you or contact anyone else. Everyone saw that. Don't try to smear me!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to call the police. I believe the truth will be clear after the investigation."

Lu Mingye's purpose was clear: he was trying to link this matter to the Sixth Concubine.

Since Master Ying is not in the country, even if he directly says that it was the other party who planned it, that would be a matter for Interpol. Now, whoever is in front of him is the one who is unlucky.

Of course, it can't be said that they were completely unlucky, since they already had a business relationship with Master Ying.

Ye Sanqing glanced at the door and decided not to go in.

She can just go and testify about what happened last night and today.

Everyone else thought the same thing; the Lu family's affairs were a complete mess, so it was better to leave everything to Lu Mingye.

The evidence collection process took longer than Ye Sanqing had anticipated; she even ate a boxed lunch at the police station.

Fortunately, there were no food restrictions for the witnesses, and Lu Mingye made proper arrangements.

By around 2 p.m., they had almost finished with their business.

This is already the largest police station in the city, and everyone is busy with this matter.

When Ye Sanqing came out, he saw Lu Mingye standing next to a large trash can, smoking.

The trash can was one of those huge blue plastic bins with the lid open, located near the end of the second-floor corridor window.

It seems this is a well-established smoking spot.

It's quite funny; if he hadn't changed his clothes, the scene would have had a strangely decadent, tough-guy vibe.

"Have one?"

After asking her and seeing that she didn't want it, Lu Mingye put out his cigarette and said, "The air here isn't good. You should leave once you're done with your business."

"I dare not go out, or they'll attack me again."

Ye Sanqing smiled.

That being said, she wasn't really worried.

Unless Master Ying decides to blow up this place or the airport, but that would be considered a terrorist attack, does he have that kind of power?

Currently, it seems to be limited to individual assassinations, although using a gun is quite excessive.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for a security team to escort you to the airport."

Lu Mingye scratched his head in frustration, "I'm so sorry, just now..."

He was somewhat at a loss for words.

Logically, having bodyguards would have prevented this from happening, but it's unclear where the oversight was, or perhaps Master Ying's assassins are particularly adept at exploiting loopholes and finding moments of security lapse to strike.

"Actually, it's not your fault. It might be Mercury retrograde."

Ye Sanqing roughly knew why; this somewhat illogical attack was most likely driven by the game's plot.

Lu Mingye is the target of the romance, so he is an important character in the game.

If the fate of an important game character changes, the system will definitely react, just like the attempt to eliminate Cheng Yanye.

For Lu Mingye, it might be an attempt to make corrections.

Creating a crisis to escalate feelings is a very common trope.

Unfortunately, Ye Sanqing was fully capable of saving herself, and she wasn't the kind of person who couldn't distinguish between the suspension bridge effect and being moved.

However, if that's the case, you should be careful to avoid any unexpected events when you meet Lu Mingye later.

And this only applies to him; as for others... it's hard to say what methods the game system will use to correct it.

Lu Wangqian didn't have this problem. He just came to make his presence known, probably because of Ye Wanyin's presence.

For example, if one romantic storyline is already established, the other will be weakened.

Ye Wanyin, you must work hard!

Mercury retrograde...

Lu Mingye never expected Ye Sanqing to say such a thing; she didn't seem like someone who believed in fate at all.

But she's right!

It's good that you didn't get hurt, but at the same time you ended up looking disheveled, isn't that just Mercury retrograde?

After I finish things here, I might as well go and draw a fortune stick to pray for good luck.

He was doing very well before, it must be Lu Wangqian's fault for returning to China!

Ye Sanqing thought to himself, "Mercury retrograde is such a good excuse."

Metaphysics is also a good excuse. If it's inconvenient to talk about the game system, then let's just explain everything with metaphysics.

Judging from Lu Mingye's completely convinced expression, you can tell how useful this is.

"Okay, good luck then. I'm going now, contact me if anything comes up."

Ye Sanqing shook hands with him, then turned and left.

Lu Mingye glanced at Sheng Hanyu and Ye Jiner waiting at the bottom of the stairs and thought to himself, "You two should keep up the good work too."

Li Jinsheng and Yan Anxu were not among those who left this time.

They have too many things to deal with, so they can only stay here for the time being.

Although this case may be transferred later because it involves too many areas, that's a matter for later.

Ye Jin'er left these matters to Shen Ji and Fu Shaochen, so he didn't linger there any longer.

With Fu Shaochen by his side, he and Shen Ji should be able to check and balance each other.

By the way, escort Lu Wangxuan... escort? It should be escort. Fu Shaochen also needs to do this. Anyway, these are all part of a series of events, so let the two of them be in charge.

Nangong Wang and the others had already arrived at the airport. They didn't stay at the Lu family's place for long. After getting up and having breakfast, they went out and bought some souvenirs in the city before coming here.

If there's a private jet to ride in, of course I'll take it.

Ye Sanqing greeted them and then boarded the plane to rest.

It's best to seize every opportunity to sleep now.

"What did you do yesterday? I heard that Lu Mingye went out with you early this morning."

When Nangong Wang saw Sheng Hanyu, he immediately put his arm around him and asked in a low voice.

Sheng Hanyu glanced at the people around her and nodded to Gong Yao first.

Because they were flying to the capital, not Ye City, only Nangong Wang, Gong Yao, Yun Shu, and Wen Shumo came.

Even Cheng Yanye didn't come. What a pity. I wanted to ask him how he was feeling today.

Everyone else had their own plans, or went directly back to Ye City, so they didn't appear here.

Yun Shu didn't rush to board the plane; he was circling the plane, studying the shape of the object.

Wen Shumo didn't bother to comment on his behavior and went straight onto the plane to sit next to Ye Jin'er.

"You seem to know this place very well."

Ye Jin'er touched her wound.

Thankfully, it didn't cause any problems. Otherwise, having to remove the bandage and change it again so soon after bandaging would have been quite painful.

"Your plane is the same model as mine, so it's only natural that I know the way around it."

Today, Wen Shumo shed his flamboyant feathers and changed into a light-colored casual outfit.

When he's not so flamboyant, he actually looks quite like a normal person...

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Ye Jin'er glanced at the cabin door.

There's still some time before takeoff, so there's no rush.
